My Want, My Need

I want to shout, not whine
I want to be a man and not this swine
I want to laugh and I want to cry
I want to be sane, at least try

I tried and lost, and lost the plot
In the middle of nowhere, I want some light
Its winter, I’m naked and stark
Can’t you light that candle for me, it’s too dark

I want love not despair
I want you right here
All I have is some breath and some pity
I want you; I want you, to want me

I too want to see the light at the ends
I want to straighten all the bends
I want the gods to set me free
I still want you, and want you to want me.
